![]() Right on, Dave. I want to see just one of these pipe-dream machines get a standard airworthiness cert. with the OK for carrying passengers, just one. - I know of one being close. Look up Joby. Just like fusion power (and Trump's healthcare plan), it's only a short few years away, I guess. - Kamala has a health plan for you Herb. Unfortunately, You and Me as white males only get to pay for it, but Hey now! It's a true realization of Marx&Engel's dreams and it covers the entire Central America. Best, GK |

Look up Joby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wbF...ture=emb_title Their timescale, payload and performance looks very similar to Vertical Aerospace, https://vertical-aerospace.com/ except that VS are aiming for a bit less range and speed, probably because they are looking at the UK market rather than the US with its greater ride distances. Do any of you know what sort of landing/takeoff patch these eVTOL air taxis are planning to operate from, i.e. helipads to something more al fresco such as carparks or schoolyards or are they planning to run door to door operations, which may be a quite limited by availability of landing areas in cities outside the US - unless, of course, their target market is just airfield to airfield traffic. I ask, because, although I've been dimly aware of efforts to build eVTOL air taxis for a year or two, I've seen absolutely nothing about where they expect to land when dropping off & picking up fares. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |
